TOTAL waste of time.,.. Sorry, rant on..
« on: May 03, 2009, 11:17:03 PM »
I had a user sent me a message 4 or 5 days ago saying they were VERY interested in my NIB 15 pound Momentum Swing but wanted to see pics first. I was not sure why they wanted to see pics of a NIB ball, but I went ahead and snapped a pic of the ball AND original box showing the specs, downloaded them and emailed them. Over the coarse of the next several days, we messaged each other back and forth because he said he was not getting the pics I was sending so I verified the email each time and sent them again 3 or 4 times. I then finally sent them 1 at a time since he had a hotmail email address and thought they might be blocking the emails for some reason.. He then tells me yesterday he finally received the pics but had to check "with his brother real quick".. I then heard nothing back from him for hours so I sent him another message asking whats up.

He finally responds this morning with a response saying his brother had decided to buy the ball at buddies pro shop as they where cheaper.. I went and looked and they ONLY have 4 or 5 14 pound Swings with terrible specs on sale for $5 cheaper than my asking price for a 15 with great specs.. They have NO 15's for that cheaper price..

I know he and his brother can buy from whoever then want but that fiasco was a joke.. If your not a serious buyer, why ask for pics of a NIB ball? I am not out any money, just time.. Very frustrating..

Sorry for the rant..

I had sold the ball on Ebay to someone that emailed and said they" changed their mind"

Not had much luck on ebay selling anything lately..

Nothing any more annoying then someone who won't answer. When I ask for pictures I make my decision that day. Then I let them know. Sorry for your troubles but at least you weren't scammed. Russ

yea, I agree I wasn't scammed and am out nothing but some time but why ask for pics of a NIB ball and then not buy it??

That can be frustrating. What about those people who want a deal but it's nothing reasonable, the want like $20-$25 off what your asking. But when you go and knock about $5 off the price you never hear from them again.

I can understand why someone would ask to see pics ( just to be sure that it is indeed a NIB) ( not saying you would claim otherwise), but remember the person you were dealing with, than put him/her on your ignore list.


There are alot of good people on here, and a few knuckleheads too

I agree, and I even sent a pic of the box so they could see the specs..

I had a hard time understanding your post, but I think your trying to say you bought one on Ebay for $78 dollars and received it today.. Is that correct??

Congrats on the great deal and thanks for posting............
